Hi Steve,

thanx for your fast reply!

> Not sure what you need in terms of "etherboot project / tftp and so on",
I´ve the problem, that the a linux kernel submitted over tftp will not
boot. So i asked on the mailinglist of lstp - someone there gives me a hint,
it could be a problem with the boot code of this card. It may not work with
etherboot. I should try to flash the boot code of the card... now i´m 
reading several mails i found on a mail archiv to this mailinglist 
netboot@baghira.han.de...

Do you think i´ve to update the MBA from 4.00 to 4.11? 
Or what can it mean if there nothing happens after the kernel is submitted
from the server to the client?
I´ve sent you the output of the screen of the client before...
